Ornamental Grass

I.D. for this O-grass?

12 years ago

I use a lot of ornamental grasses in my landscape designs.

But this one is new to me.

Anyone out there recognize it?

Thank you,

It looks like Pennisetum messacum 'Red Bunny Tails' after the blooms have aged to beige.

Thank you, Donn

Looks like a good match to me.

I'll be definitely trying some of these out on a future project.
